I’m still playing the game (got altogether too much time on my hands it seems), so while I already have a clan, feel free to add me as a friend in game (IGN: Friendly0Fire) and ask if you’d like to run something (I have the entire star chart unlocked and a fair amount of keys). Just… don’t invite me without saying a word, because I’ll most likely refuse.

With Update 17 and the addition of the fifth Kubrow variant, the Cheddar Chesa, there’s been a lot of (mostly unsuccessful*) Kubrow breeding activity among our Clan members. The positive upshot of this is that we have now a small repository of Kubrow imprints of all the old variants - and even one or two Chesa imprints -, so if anyone is trying to breed a specific type and wants to reduce the RNG involved to its minimum, ask around in Clan chat and one of your fellow members will probably be able to help you.

Hey TGDM, thanks a bunch for those frame builds. It’s Breaksequence here, AKA that guy who showed up to the raid absolutely clueless tonight. I had no idea said raids would be so involved. That said, I’m definitely going to duck out a few weeks until I have a couple of fully raid-capable frames.

Hey new folks! Look me up (BlackCoMerc, or just Merc) in game. I have tons of mods for folks who need or want them. Many of these are “foundational” mods like bonuses to weapon damage, shield, health and energy use on frames, etc. Having them up front tends to make the star map tons easier and gets you into some of the later game content a little faster - which is good all round.

I’ll (try to) be online about half an hour before raid time for you to contact me in game.
[HR][/HR] Overkill Warframe builds: http://pastebin.com/BH1r7XGs
If you’re unsure of which warframe to bring, how to build it, or if you’re raid ready, check out the builds shown there. They’re, as titled, overkill, but should give you a good idea of what to be aiming for. The other pastebin will answer any other questions, but if you feel like I missed something contact me in game.

I’ve been messing with Destiny 2.0 on the old Xbox 360 which is kind of taking time away from me playing Warframe right now. Definitely going to jump back in for this upcoming bonus weekend though, gotta have them swanky new dual vipers!

@Drayk: I’d advise against purchasing Loki, for several reasons: his parts are easily farmed from the Neptune boss, the Hyena Pack; if you don’t have access to that node you can ask in Clan chat and someone can “taxi” you there and help you with the fight. Likewise, the resources needed to craft those parts aren’t hard to collect and, again, you can ask for help for the rarer ones (Neural Sensor, Orokin Cell).

Another reason against just purchasing Loki is that to be effective at what he does, Loki is very dependant on having a good set of mods: in Warframe, all the gear (be it weapons, companions, or the warframes themselves) are kinda like an empty vessel; you need to equip and rank the appropriate mods to realize the true potential of each item.

On the other hand, though there are very few things that are Platinum-exclusive and can’t be obtained just by playing the game (trading for Platinum with other players nonwithstanding), at the start it can certainly help to purchase another warframe that you think you may like, to have more options apart from your starting gear. In this case, there are a few recommended ones, either because they are too grindy to obtain by normal means (Mesa, Equinox), there’s too much RNG involved (Vauban, maaaaybeAsh / Oberon), or they are locked behind a quest that won’t be available to you for some time (Mirage, Limbo, Chroma, Atlas).

But if you are really interested in Loki, then I’d suggest you buy the Loki Prime parts and blueprint from another player***** and craft him instead, it’ll probably cost you less than purchasing Loki from the Market and the Prime variant is a strict upgrade over the vanilla one (it has higher energy capacity and 2 additional polarities). You’ll be missing the pre-installed Orokin Reactor and warframe slot that purchases from the Market get, so that’ll be some additional 40 Platinum on top of what you pay for Loki Prime, in case you want to compare prices.

[SIZE=2]***** To be able to trade with another player, your account needs to be at least Mastery Rank 2. Also, you can’t trade away the starting free 50 Platinum, so keep that in mind.[/SIZE]

Thanks a lot for the info. Ill stick to my Excalibur for the time being and try slowly to build loki prime (the warframe look sick, I like it even more thant the normal one) . I have a 150 plat from my earlier days that I’ll use for that purpose. Any idea what it might cost me in total ?

I’m not up to date on current trading prices, but the more common parts for loki prime shouldn’t be that expensive to come by. Before spending platinum you should ask around in clan chat, I’m sure you can get a few parts for almost free that way.

Edit: Just checked my prime part pile, you can have a blueprint and a helmet if you want, just ask the next time you see me online
